It’s more than that. Apps used to take screenshots of the screen instead of trying to work their way through the camera apis in Snapchat for example, at least in the past. There’s also just bad camera out there. My Pixel 6 Pro is terrible for document scanning given its sensor size. The edges are always blurry.

Funny, because the generation who last went to war to fight communism was drafted into it.

It falls back to MMS which is terrible.

There’s a good chance you’re left out of separate chats.

I just followed those directions using only my iPhone. Not sure you read that correctly.

Download VLC, use WiFi transfer.

Are you trying to say competition is good for the consumer?! That’s a wild accusation.

Someone needs to turn the hyperbole dial down on Lemmy. My feed is frequently nothing but Chicken Little’s whining about trivial shit. When something truly egregious comes up, I’m not going to be able to see if in a sea of outrage.

No, you’re conflating a teenager taking a food order with illegally installing roofs or working in slaughterhouses or factories.

What’s your point? Those things are already illegal. The second article says so in the title.

Getting a job because their parents are not capable of giving them a dignified lifestyle is downright disgusting and such kids should be rescued

I just don’t understand this leap to conclusions that every young person is out there working because their parents aren’t feeding or clothing them. I grew up with rich friends, middle class friends, and poor friends. Random assortments of all three groups grew up working. The vast majority of the time it to earn money for themselves to buy luxuries. One friend was working to support their family due to a parental situation. There’s no way putting that person in the foster care system would have been better. They Graduated with decent grades too.

Be Polite and don’t come back. That’s my rule of thumb.

All this constant hyperbole for every single issue is exhausting. No one is defending sending 13 years olds out to replace someone’s roof. We’re talking about “unskilled” labor like taking orders, stocking shelves, running registers etc.

The truth is more interesting than the headline

They have my payment information. They don’t need to guess.

What are they going to do, black mail me by telling my friends I listen to Taylor Swift occasionally?

It’s more gating off than walling. If it keeps access and usage free I’m ok with it.

Can someone tell me why this is unreasonable?

Keep in mind private companies are doing this, because again, you are voluntarily giving this information up publicly. The solution to it is to stop.

This is Immigration. People are voluntarily applying to come to the US. Their public social media posts being reviewed isn’t a privacy violation. Even if it’s done on US citizens, it’s public information. Regardless on whether it’s a good idea or not, it’s not a privacy issue. You’re voluntarily giving up the privacy of the information you do and say in public. If they utilize non-public information then you have an argument.
